But What Can We Do Now: Lessons from History’s Most Inspiring Social Movements
In this session, we’ll explore the key elements that social movements— across history and geography— have effectively led and pushed for change in dark political times. We’ll explore how local efforts can fuel bigger movements (as well as why they sometimes don’t) and imagine what opportunities that presents for us in this moment.
Garrett Bucks, the facilitator of this session and founder of the Barnstormers Project, has written a book, The Right Kind of White: A Memoir, which is available through Hope. Text her at 559-859-5005 to request a copy. Cost: $15.

So What Can We Do Now?: Finding Hope in Personal Action and Practical Strategies
This evening will be a workshop in how we can each, individually and collectively, prepare to be a resisting force and how to do it with hope, possibility, and expectation. The objectives of the workshop will be that 1) you formulate a plan for your own action, and 2) that you find connection and community to help you sustain your goals and your strategies.

De-escalation / Bystander Intervention Training
This will be a several-hour workshop on how to act in situations of conflict in your community. How do you act when you are at the grocery store or walking down the street and someone starts harassing another person because of their race or their language? How do you engage in a way that keeps the incident from escalating into a situation where someone needs to call the police?
